About This Item
London: Ebury Press, 2002. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Hardback. A very good copy in publisher's black cloth with title in gilt on spine. No inscriptions. Map illustrations on endpapers. Page edges browned. 376 pages. Very good illustrated dustwrapper, which is not price-clipped and which is protected in a removable cover. During the author's research poring over yellowing library index cards she was surprised to come across her own name. She was even more surprised to discover that this author, George Collingridge was a relative and that 100 years ago he too had set off in search of his hero, Captain Cook. But it was only when she learnt of Collingridge's own shocking discovery that she realised how intertwined she was with Cook's legacy.
